How to prevent a dialog from closing when a button is clicked

I have a dialog with EditText for input. When I click the "yes" button on dialog, it will validate the input and then close the dialog. However, if the input is wrong, I want to remain in the same dialog. Every time no matter what the input is, the dialog should be automatically closed when I click on the "no" button. How can I disable this? By the way, I have used PositiveButton and NegativeButton for the button on dialog.


EDIT: This only works on API 8+ as noted by some of the comments.

This is a late answer, but you can add an onShowListener to the AlertDialog where you can then override the onClickListener of the button.

final AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
        .setView(v)
        .setTitle(R.string.my_title)
        .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null) //Set to null. We override the onclick
        .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, null)
        .create();

dialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {

    @Override
    public void onShow(DialogInterface dialogInterface) {

        Button button = ((AlertDialog) dialog).getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                // TODO Do something

                //Dismiss once everything is OK.
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
    }
});
dialog.show();

Here are some solutions for all types of dialogs including a solution for AlertDialog.Builder that will work on all API levels (works below API 8, which the other answer here does not). There are solutions for AlertDialogs using AlertDialog.Builder, DialogFragment, and DialogPreference.

Below are the code examples showing how to override the default common button handler and prevent the dialog from closing for these different forms of dialogs. All the examples show how to prevent the positive button from closing the dialog.

Note: A description of how the dialog closing works under the hood for the base android classes and why the following approaches are chosen follows after the examples, for those who want more details


AlertDialog.Builder - Change default button handler immediately after show()

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setMessage("Test for preventing dialog close");
builder.setPositiveButton("Test", 
        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
            {
                //Do nothing here because we override this button later to change the close behaviour. 
                //However, we still need this because on older versions of Android unless we 
                //pass a handler the button doesn't get instantiated
            }
        });
final AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
//Overriding the handler immediately after show is probably a better approach than OnShowListener as described below
dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
      {            
          @Override
          public void onClick(View v)
          {
              Boolean wantToCloseDialog = false;
              //Do stuff, possibly set wantToCloseDialog to true then...
              if(wantToCloseDialog)
                  dialog.dismiss();
              //else dialog stays open. Make sure you have an obvious way to close the dialog especially if you set cancellable to false.
          }
      });

DialogFragment - override onResume()

@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
    builder.setMessage("Test for preventing dialog close");
    builder.setPositiveButton("Test", 
        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
            {
                //Do nothing here because we override this button later to change the close behaviour. 
                //However, we still need this because on older versions of Android unless we 
                //pass a handler the button doesn't get instantiated
            }
        });
    return builder.create();
}

//onStart() is where dialog.show() is actually called on 
//the underlying dialog, so we have to do it there or 
//later in the lifecycle.
//Doing it in onResume() makes sure that even if there is a config change 
//environment that skips onStart then the dialog will still be functioning
//properly after a rotation.
@Override
public void onResume()
{
    super.onResume();    
    final AlertDialog d = (AlertDialog)getDialog();
    if(d != null)
    {
        Button positiveButton = (Button) d.getButton(Dialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
        positiveButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
                {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v)
                    {
                        Boolean wantToCloseDialog = false;
                        //Do stuff, possibly set wantToCloseDialog to true then...
                        if(wantToCloseDialog)
                            d.dismiss();
                        //else dialog stays open. Make sure you have an obvious way to close the dialog especially if you set cancellable to false.
                    }
                });
    }
}

DialogPreference - override showDialog()

@Override
protected void onPrepareDialogBuilder(Builder builder)
{
    super.onPrepareDialogBuilder(builder);
    builder.setPositiveButton("Test", this);   //Set the button here so it gets created
}

@Override
protected void showDialog(Bundle state)
{       
    super.showDialog(state);    //Call show on default first so we can override the handlers

    final AlertDialog d = (AlertDialog) getDialog();
    d.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
            {            
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v)
                {
                    Boolean wantToCloseDialog = false;
                    //Do stuff, possibly set wantToCloseDialog to true then...
                    if(wantToCloseDialog)
                        d.dismiss();
                    //else dialog stays open. Make sure you have an obvious way to close the dialog especially if you set cancellable to false.
                }
            });
}

Explanation of approaches:

Looking through Android source code the AlertDialog default implementation works by registering a common button handler to all the actual buttons in OnCreate(). When a button is clicked the common button handler forwards the click event to whatever handler you passed in setButton() then calls dismisses the dialog.

If you wish to prevent a dialog box from closing when one of these buttons is pressed you must replace the common button handler for the actual view of the button. Because it is assigned in OnCreate(), you must replace it after the default OnCreate() implementation is called. OnCreate is called in the process of the show() method. You could create a custom Dialog class and override OnCreate() to call the super.OnCreate() then override the button handlers, but if you make a custom dialog you don't get the Builder for free, in which case what is the point?

So, in using a dialog the way it is designed but with controlling when it is dismissed, one approach is to call dialog.Show() first, then obtain a reference to the button using dialog.getButton() to override the click handler. Another approach is to use setOnShowListener() and implement finding the button view and replacing the handler in the OnShowListener. The functional difference between the two is 'almost' nill, depending on what thread originally creates the dialog instance. Looking through the source code, the onShowListener gets called by a message posted to a handler running on the thread that created that dialog. So, since your OnShowListener is called by a message posted on the message queue it is technically possible that calling your listener is delayed some time after show completes.

Therefore, I believe the safest approach is the first: to call show.Dialog(), then immediately in the same execution path replace the button handlers. Since your code that calls show() will be operating on the main GUI thread, it means whatever code you follow show() with will be executed before any other code on that thread, whereas the timing of the OnShowListener method is at the mercy of the message queue.


I've written a simple class (an AlertDialogBuilder) that you can use to disable the auto-dismiss feature when pressing the dialog's buttons.

It is compatible also with Android 1.6, so it doesn't make use of the OnShowListener (which is available only API >= 8).

So, instead of using AlertDialog.Builder you can use this CustomAlertDialogBuilder. The most important part is that you should not call create(), but only the show() method. I've added methods like setCanceledOnTouchOutside() and setOnDismissListener so that you can still set them directly on the builder.

I tested it on Android 1.6, 2.x, 3.x and 4.x so it should work pretty well. If you find some problems please comment here.

    @Override

    @Override

        DialogInterface.OnClickListener emptyOnClickListener = new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { }
        };


        // Enable buttons (needed for Android 1.6) - otherwise later getButton() returns null
        if (mPositiveButtonText != null) {
            alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE, mPositiveButtonText, emptyOnClickListener);
        }

        if (mNegativeButtonText != null) {
            alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE, mNegativeButtonText, emptyOnClickListener);
        }

        if (mNeutralButtonText != null) {
            alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL, mNeutralButtonText, emptyOnClickListener);
        }

        // Set OnDismissListener if available
        if (mOnDismissListener != null) {
            alertDialog.setOnDismissListener(mOnDismissListener);
        }

        if (mCancelOnTouchOutside != null) {
            alertDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(mCancelOnTouchOutside);
        }

        alertDialog.show();

        // Set the OnClickListener directly on the Button object, avoiding the auto-dismiss feature
        // IMPORTANT: this must be after alert.show(), otherwise the button doesn't exist..
        // If the listeners are null don't do anything so that they will still dismiss the dialog when clicked
        if (mPositiveButtonListener != null) {
            alertDialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    mPositiveButtonListener.onClick(alertDialog, AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
                }
            });
        }

        if (mNegativeButtonListener != null) {
            alertDialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    mNegativeButtonListener.onClick(alertDialog, AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE);
                }
            });
        }

        if (mNeutralButtonListener != null) {
            alertDialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    mNeutralButtonListener.onClick(alertDialog, AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL);
                }
            });
        }

        return alertDialog;
    }   
}

EDIT Here is a small example on how to use the CustomAlertDialogBuilder:

// Create the CustomAlertDialogBuilder
CustomAlertDialogBuilder dialogBuilder = new CustomAlertDialogBuilder(context);

// Set the usual data, as you would do with AlertDialog.Builder
dialogBuilder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
dialogBuilder.setTitle("Dialog title");
dialogBuilder.setMessage("Some text..");

// Set your buttons OnClickListeners
dialogBuilder.setPositiveButton ("Button 1", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick (DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        // Do something...

        // Dialog will not dismiss when the button is clicked
        // call dialog.dismiss() to actually dismiss it.
    }
});

// By passing null as the OnClickListener the dialog will dismiss when the button is clicked.               
dialogBuilder.setNegativeButton ("Close", null);

// Set the OnDismissListener (if you need it)       
dialogBuilder.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener() {
    public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
        // dialog was just dismissed..
    }
});

// (optional) set whether to dismiss dialog when touching outside
dialogBuilder.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

// Show the dialog
dialogBuilder.show();

Cheers,
